A new journey of accumulating wealth

The atmosphere of the whole summer is very strange.

There is some restlessness faintly in the capital. Where does this restlessness come from?

Is it the loss of awe of the current emperor who sits high on the altar but has no power and makes people feel at a loss?There is still some uncertainty about the current border situation.

Lu Liuyao has not given any specific errands to Fourth Master until now, and now he only has one task, which is to find a way to collect daily prices, especially grain prices.

With the news of the war ahead, the price of grain is always going up in small amounts every day.Therefore, what is disturbing is not what happened to the emperor, what happened to the war in the distant Liaodong, and it is actually related to their own interests. They are all a little uncertain about whether their future life can be guaranteed.

The weather is getting cooler day by day, and this anxiety has not been relieved at all.

When I woke up this morning, the first thing Fourth Master did was to look at the flowerbed under the window sill. On the edge of the flowerbed, the little girl was sprinkling water with a watering can. The land that was not sprinkled was still dry.

Lin Yutong knew what fourth master was looking at even without looking outside, "It hasn't rained for two months."

After the second crop was planted, it stopped raining.It can't be seen in other places. At least the autumn grain production in Gyeonggi this year may be reduced. If it doesn't rain again, there is a possibility that the harvest will fail.

Fourth Master looked up at the sky, "Based on your experience, how likely is it that it will rain in the next few days?"

Tongtong looked out and shook his head, "I've been collecting data recently, and I'm not very optimistic. It's because we were careless!"

Originally, I thought that both the Queen and Sister Ying should be foresighted people, and I should be able to understand the general direction by staring at these two people.At least, the big event should be clear.Not to mention the queen over there, she is raising a baby in the palace, but Sister Ying has been at the Jin family recently, and she has not made any special moves.

Therefore, Lin Yutong always thought that even if there was a little drought this time, it should be fine.

But with the grain price fluctuation data collected by the fourth master, Lin agreed to realize that things don't seem to be reliable by focusing on these suspected reborn people.These two are very unreliable in themselves.The two of them paid attention to things that were completely different from those of myself and fourth master.

This observation made my heart a little cold.Signs of this year's severe drought are already beginning to emerge.

Fourth Master sighed, he was afraid of this.Internal and external troubles can be dealt with by humans, but this natural disaster, with the current ability, is very reluctant.You said drought resistance, the most direct way to combat drought is to pray for rain.

Praying for rain has a fart!

If it doesn't rain, there is nothing Mao can do.

The fourth master asked Tongtong to eat, "Let's eat first, Brother Kun and Dalang are probably coming back in a few days. They came back from the south, and they will know the situation in the south when they come back."

Three days later, Brother Kun and Da Lang arrived home, accompanied by the Cen family who sent off their relatives, and they all settled down in the house newly bought by the Cen family in the city.Brother Shen and Brother Qi took the family members to help settle there, and then they all returned home.

Both of them looked serious when they came back, especially Brother Kun, who was not happy to be the bridegroom's official all the way, and his frown was so frowning that he could kill mosquitoes, "...drought! From south to north, the more we go, the more drought we go. There is a lot of rice in the south There is no moisture in the fields..."

This problem is serious.

No wonder according to Si Ye and his speculation, the city should have been captured by the North Kingdom.It would be easy to explain if Da Zhou just happened to catch up with the disaster year.Without food, can you send hungry soldiers?

"Have you recorded everything along the way?" Fourth master was in charge of the booklet that Brother Kun wanted to record.Brother Kun kept it with him, and immediately took it out, "Father, now we all have to see how much food the court has in stock..."

So, I have to take this thing to find Xu Shizhong!

"You guys are eating..." Fourth Master went out directly, "I'll go out for a while."

Sister Ying, who was also sitting at the dinner table, was stunned: "Drought?"

Was there such a thing in your previous life?

Yes!

It seems to have heard the girls muttering that the price of a catty of refined grain outside has increased more than ten times.At that time... how could she pay attention to this.No matter how much money it was, it didn't take away a bite of her food anyway.

I thought it was irrelevant before, but now that I think about it, I realize how naive this idea is.If this is really a natural disaster, the chaos will be more terrifying than foreign enemies.

Her complexion was slightly pale. She always thought that she could save the world, but now she realized that, in fact, she was an idiot.After doing so much, it may still be useless.

Seeing the serious faces of the children, Lin Yutong said, "Eat first! Find the problem and solve the problem. As long as you actively think of a way, you can always solve it. The harvest of autumn grain is in short supply, and the harvest of summer grain is said to be good this year..."

"No matter how good it is, at most it will last until the end of the year." But after the new year is the beginning of spring, when the harvest is not enough, it will take another half a year to wait until the summer grain.The thing to focus on now is: "What can we do in the first half of next year?"

If there is no domestic, we can only rely on imports.

But now this import, easier said than done?

Fourth Master asked Xu Shizhong for a token, so he had to look up the information.For example, where to pay tribute, where to make friends, etc., these things are all archived in the Da Nei Bookstore.

Xu Shizhong gave it straight away, "I know about the inventory. I have been very strict in preparing for war in the past two years. Everyone is hungry in Dazhou, and I won't tell your second brother to starve. "

It really doesn't work, and the trick of killing the chicken and taking the egg is useless.

With such an increase in the price of grain, it is hard to believe that the major grain companies have no stocks.All of them were astute, as if the imperial court was preparing for war, of course they were preparing food.Waiting to make this windfall.Why has the price been raised before, but the court ignored it.

There is a reason to ignore it.Food is expensive, and ordinary people can eat a little food according to the standard of not dying of starvation, as long as they are not starving to death.In this way, food is in the food industry.As long as it is still there, this is the mouse saving food for the cat.If you are in a hurry, you can be punished for raising prices, and if you confiscate the grain, you will be confiscated.Therefore, as long as the increase in food prices does not exceed the line and does not force people to starve to death, the imperial court will not intervene.

Xu Shizhong didn't need to explain these things, Fourth Master and Tong Tong knew the truth too well.

He brought a lot of materials from the vault in the palace, Fourth Master stayed up for three nights and copied a copy of the materials.After having the information, he went to Xu Shizhong and handed it to him.

Xu Shizhong flipped through it, and looked at the fourth master in surprise, "Go to the other countries to borrow food?"

Who is going?

Even if fourth master wanted to go, Xu Shizhong would not agree.But there is one person who is suitable, "Lu Liuyao!"

It's him!

Xu Shizhong looked at Fourth Master in surprise: "Are you willing to go? It will take more than a year to return after a long journey. If you are slow, it may not be three to five years! You have to think about it. That is your niece and son-in-law. It's only been half a year since the wedding..."

It's only been half a year since the wedding!

When fourth master came back, the family was happy because sister Lin was pregnant for two months.The couple were taken back to live by Mrs. Sun, saying that they were in the early stages of pregnancy, and the elders over there were worried.It's better to keep the fetus stable here.Lu Liuyao has no objections, it doesn't matter where he is.He often goes in and out of Yue's house, except that he doesn't live at night, and it's almost the same as growing up in Yue's house at other times.It doesn't matter!

Sister Lin is of course willing to go back to her mother's house.She is the only one at home, and Jin Shuang and the others lived next door and could visit, but now, it is the family members of the surrounding families who come to visit.After all, the Jin family is different from before. People who come here are more flattered, and there are fewer equal friends.Now that I am pregnant, I am a little impatient to deal with it.Once you hear that you are called to stop and come back, you will be happy.There is a yard specially reserved for them in the guest house, just live there.

The whole family was happy, and the fourth master didn't mention it.When the people dispersed, fourth master left Lu Liuyao alone.

Sister Lin and Mrs. Sun were planning to leave, but now they stopped, "I'll stay and talk to Fourth Aunt."

Mrs. Sun knew that her daughter was planning to wait for her son-in-law to leave with her. She cursed softly as a "white-eyed wolf", smiled at Lin Yutong, and left first.

As soon as the person left, the room fell silent.

No matter how dull Sister Lin is, she knows that something serious is going to happen.She looked at her fourth uncle, then at her fourth aunt, and then at her husband, "I'm here... Is it convenient to say?"

When the child is pregnant, what do you say about it?

While thinking about the new candidate, Fourth Master said: "There is an errand, I really want to ask Liu Yao to help me with the details and see who is suitable to send."

Sister Lin was a little disappointed, thinking that she had found a suitable job for her husband.

Lu Liuyao was not in a hurry, "Fourth Uncle, tell me, I'll listen."

Fourth Master told the story and summed it up in two words - to go on an envoy!Borrow food!

As soon as the words were finished, Lu Liuyao understood that the person that the fourth uncle wanted was himself.

There has been no arrangement for such a long time, but this arrangement-the starting point is so high!

Not everyone has the qualifications to go on a mission!

What's more, it is a mission with such a heavy responsibility on its shoulders.

This trip, if we say it was dangerous, it would not be so.In addition to the insecurity on the road, going to other countries will not mean that you will lose your life.It is nothing more than the difference between success and failure.

Once it is done, my contribution will not be lower than that of my second uncle in Liaodong.

This is actually a shortcut that can reach the sky in one step.But if you want to take this shortcut, the difficulties are also foreseeable.Otherwise, such an errand would not have fallen on him.

He never thinks that he is capable, but he is capable and wealthy, and he will not take risks.

You know, if this matter is accomplished, it will reach the sky in one step, but if it is not accomplished, I am afraid that it will delay the big event.

The fourth master said: "This person knows how to change, knows how to deal with things, and has a firm mind. ...It depends on your heart!"

Lu Liuyao's eyes were bright, and his breathing became heavy.But I was very clear-headed, knowing that there were many difficulties on the one hand, and on the other hand, I knew better that this was an opportunity!Whether it is possible to get ahead in this life, whether it can give wealth and honor to one's wife and children, all depends on whether one can seize this opportunity.

Then this... how could I miss it!

He turned his head to look at Sister Lin, and when Sister Lin met Shanglu Liuyao's eyes, she understood everything.

The fourth uncle wanted to ask him to go, and he wanted to go too.

Sister Lin gently caressed her stomach, and then looked at Lin Yutong, "Fourth aunt... can I go?"

Lin Yutong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether you go or not. If you go, this is an opportunity. Even if it doesn't work, your fourth uncle will take care of this matter. If you don't go, you can just find an errand in the future. With Liu Yao's agility and ability , no matter where you are, you don't have to worry about getting ahead. Don't put too much pressure on your heart..."

Sister Lin stroked her stomach with her hand: "...I have never seen a disaster victim...but I read in the history books that people who were displaced were forced to eat...if there is no food, many people will die... There must be many mothers who have lost their children, and more children who have lost their mothers... Shuang Niang built a shantang outside the city. Now there are a few children in the shantang. When I went there, I asked the child how many Among the three children, three were hit by the disaster just because the family's fields were flooded by the torrents coming down from the mountain. Their father died of illness on the way, and their mother sold herself to exchange some rations for the children, just for The child can survive..." She said, looking at Lu Liuyao, "Go! Do it well... Try to borrow more food... This is a great thing to accumulate blessings for the child... Then If it is not possible, I also believe that God will see it, and will definitely bless the child safe and sound... I will not go anywhere, I will just live here, waiting for you to come back... There are four uncles and four aunts at home, don't worry about me... …and the children will suffer.”

Here, everyone in the world will starve to death, and my natal family will not starve to death.

Saying that, without giving Lu Liuyao any chance to react, he directly dragged Lin Yutong into the inner room, "Fourth Aunt, I heard that you have all kinds of pills here before, so you should prepare more for this meeting. If There is a life-saving prescription, you have to ask Liu Yao to memorize it..."

Looking at the shaking curtain, it took Lu Liuyao a long while to calm down, and said to Fourth Master: "Fourth Uncle, I'll go!"

Fourth Master called the girl, "Call Shiro over here!"

Jinshi?

What are you calling him for?

Jinshi came quickly, Fourth Master arranged for Jinshi to follow Lu Liuyao, "You just borrowed food, how do you get the food back?"

Yes!vessel!

Whether it is building a big ship or transforming a ship, it is all about gold and stone!He has seen the toys that Jinshi made for Mao Geer, the kind that can move in the water.That thing was confiscated by the old man of the He family. He found many skilled craftsmen, but he didn't study it clearly.I want to dismantle the boat, but I know that once it is dismantled, I can't put it back together.In the end, it was sent back to the Jin family as it was, and the children were not allowed to play with it.

"Besides, this errand is a secret order!" Therefore, there are not so many red tapes.

Lu Liuyao understood very well in his heart, "...there is a war going on, and the affairs of the Great Zhou cannot be announced to everyone. Otherwise, people's hearts will be disturbed. I understand this reason."

If you understand, prepare, "The sooner you start, the better."

If this is concealed, then it is really concealed.Lu Liuyao left, and it was said to the outside world that Jin Laoer had a dispatch.But there is a war over there, so Sun and the third master are not at ease.

The excuse for these two people is: "...an errand in the palace! Your Majesty wants to repair the mausoleum..."

Then this must not be known.This secret purchase of many things, such as treasures and the like for funerals, has precedents in all dynasties.This job has nothing to do with danger, it's a royal job, and it's a fat job.The two couples were only happy, and Mrs. Sun thanked Tongtong more than once, "Look...let her fourth uncle worry about it."

And in the deep palace, Li Zhao, as the emperor, did co-operate in such a play, summoning King Kang and telling him to start building the mausoleum.As for the purchase, I only said that I would leave it to someone who is at ease, and told him not to worry.

Then ask more carefully... oh!The son-in-law of the Jin family seems to have disappeared recently, too!It must have been arranged by Xu Shizhong.

Coupled with the fact that the emperor, who had been invisible before, was now able to see people, everyone understood that the emperor was showing his love to the Jin family.

As for Li Zhao, although he is not going out of the palace, he still knows whether it has rained recently.Later, Wen Shi was asked to take the records from the Qin Tianjian to read, and he understood everything at a glance.Xu Shizhong showed him some of the booklets selected from various places, and then Li Zhao knew that if there was a natural disaster, the situation would indeed not be optimistic.

Now this path is certainly not the only one.But what if it happens?Don't you have to try every way?As for the candidates, he does not comment.For members of the Jin family, if Xu Shizhong passed his eyes, even if he didn't succeed, he wasn't bad.It's not that there is no one available in the court, but it should be calm and reliable, as if it is not so easy to find a second candidate besides this one.

He sighed to Wen Shi: "This Jin family... makes people love and hate..." He hummed and laughed twice, as if he didn't mind the restriction of activities before, "Choose for the eldest prince." Concubine... Let's decide on this candidate." He looked at Wen, "I heard from the eldest princess before that the girl from the Jin family... one set up a charity hall by herself, and the other said that she had a good marriage in Liaodong. , is a student of the Jin family in Liaodong, who was born in a merchant's family...the other one was kissed and married...by the way, I sent another one to Liaodong..."

The implication is that if the adopted daughter is arranged like this, she is unwilling to send her into the palace to serve the First Prince.

Wen knew that this was trying to sow discord between himself and the Jin family.

A smile appeared on her face, "Your Majesty really wronged her. When I adopted these children, I was still in the Jin family. Those children... none of them are suitable for entering the palace. The Jin family... is not willing to let the children die." It's just inside..."

Li Zhao was taken aback, he didn't expect Wen to say that.He chuckled slightly, with a bit of resentment, "As you said, this palace has really become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den... Can it kill people at every turn?"

Wen Shi smiled, but before he could speak, the little eunuch outside came in with a tray, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to take some medicine."

On the tray were silver bowls, with silver saucers beside them.The bowl was filled with pitch-black medicine, exuding a tangy and weird smell.There were plums in the plate, pickled.The little eunuch scooped out half of the medicine with a spoon, then took a few plums, drank it himself, and then silently retreated to the side.

Only then did Wen take the medicine with his own hands, and handed it to Li Zhao, "You, drink the medicine first. Why do I think that this time the medicine is better. Your hands are more flexible than before! Look at your writing , but regained a bit of charm."

Li Zhao took it and downed it in one gulp, and Wen handed over the candied fruit with a plate. Li Zhao twisted it up with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth. He gave a vague 'hmm', suppressed the bitterness, and then nodded, "I It is also very useful. The legs and feet that were not very conscious, now often feel numb and numb..."

"Then this is indeed getting better." Wen said with a bit of joy, "You still have to drink the medicine if you can persist in drinking it." Then he brought the topic back, "I think the granddaughter of the eldest princess is very good. In terms of identity Match, the child's temperament is also suitable..."

Li Zhao sighed, "If you don't dislike it, then go for it."

Not counting as the eldest princess's own granddaughter, she is reluctant to kiss her.This is the granddaughter of the concubine born to the son-in-law's concubine, the granddaughter in name.The son-in-law is always attached to the princess, and the concubine in the princess' mansion is cowardly. For a girl of such a background, marrying the prince is salvation.No matter what the prince is like, she will never dislike him.

Wen's can be regarded as thinking of everything for the child.

Li Zhao reminded again, "But after all, everyone is a lady. In the case of the emperor, he can't move... After wanting to stay, many things have to be done by the woman. Everyone is a lady... and she doesn't understand Fengyue, these things It must be useless...Either, you have to arrange for the nanny to teach you in advance, or you have to hint to the eldest princess to make them worry... On the other hand, although it is unreliable for King Kang to use the position of the eldest prince and side concubine to sell money, the merchant The domesticated child, who was specially trained|trained... is also from an innocent girl's family, and being a side concubine may be more beneficial to the offspring..."

He said, seeing that Wen's expression was wrong, he laughed a bit, "As parents, we have to think ahead, if the emperor's son is all right, as a father, how could I say such a thing..."

Wen shi snorted coldly, and walked away: "It seems that your majesty is speaking from experience!"

It's a joke, he can't move anymore, he can still make his concubine pregnant!

It was so easy to talk for a while, but they broke up again.

Li Zhao looked out the window and smiled wryly for a long time, now no one takes him seriously.

When Wen went out, he saw the eunuch who was testing the medicine before, put the tray on the ground, took a piece of something from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth quickly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled and pretended not to see it.

This eunuch belonged to the queen... What did the queen feed Li Zhao?

She is not interested in knowing!

The eldest prince is going to get married, this mansion has to be repaired.It doesn't matter that there is no money in the national treasury, isn't King Kang able to use the position of side concubine to sell for a big price?Just ask him to do it.

Busy with this matter, I just remembered that Brother Kun is getting married again.

Followed by brother Shen.

Lin Yutong arranged very tightly, with only three days between them.In the correspondence with the Lin family before, the Lin family said that the marriage of the nephew was a big deal.Definitely coming!No, if they come this time, they won't run for a second time.Lin Yutong simply made the wedding arrangements of the two sons more compact.

Marrying a girl from the Cen family is not a low standard.Lin Yutong probably knows how many dowries there are.Wen Lan'er, who is a few days away, is also coming in, it would be ugly without a dowry.

In fact, it's not that Wen Lan'er didn't have a dowry. The Wen family left, and things were sealed at that time.She had a dowry, but wasn't it returned to the Jin family later?It's not that there is no one in the second room of the Jin family, they are all kept in the second room.This thing is supposed to work for Wen Lan'er.

When Wen thought of this, it was the same meaning when he spread the word.When she got married back then, because Li Zhao felt sorry, she gave a lot of private property, all in the name of dowry.Yi'an definitely doesn't want these things, so he can just marry Lan'er as a dowry.

But Wen Lan'er didn't say no, Lin Yutong gave her the keys, and she went to donate these things directly to the Military Fund Preparation Office.

As for the dowry, she said: "Everyone is in my situation. I was originally a person without a dowry. Even if there are many dowries, I know that my parents will save my face. Then why bother? I don't care about these, three Brother doesn't care about these things...No one in our family looks up to anyone because of the amount of private property...There is no need to worry about face."

Who knows how this matter got to the ears of the Cen family, and Cen Qiniang was also very interesting, except for the dowry house, she also donated all other obvious things.Convert it into cash, buy grain and send it to Liaodong.

Therefore, the marriage has not yet taken place, and it has won another wave of praise for the Jin family.Even because of this, there was a wave of upsurge in donating silver and scrapped ironware.

The old man of the He family said to his grandson, He Zhiting: "You don't have to come back often at home...how can you please? I will take care of you if you don't. I often go to your father-in-law's house...the Jin family is amazing! To be able to marry such two girls..."

It is absolutely not a lie that marrying a right wife will make your offspring prosperous for three generations.

He Zhiting replied in a low voice, and was about to go out.The old man of the He family asked again: "Do you know where your brother-in-law went?"

"I don't know!" He Zhiting said.

The old man of the He family opened his eyes and looked at his grandson up and down, then chuckled, and closed his eyes again, "Grandson... he is really a good grandson! I don't know... I don't know... If you don't know, you don't know! Get out! Get out Now, just live your own life... If you can move a place, discuss it with your father-in-law and give you a place, the empress and the prince in the palace...you don't have to worry about it..."

My father-in-law had asked what he meant a long time ago, and he said at that time, you just think about yourself.You won't be doing your current errand soon, so if I don't mention it, your grandfather will also mention it to you.

He realized belatedly that the queen's pregnancy gave his grandfather a sense of crisis, and he was leaving behind.

He Zhiting had a sore nose, and then knelt down and kowtowed, "This time, someone from my wife's uncle's family is coming, and my father-in-law wants me to go to the northwest! If it goes well, my grandson will take his wife and Brother Mao away... Your old man wants Guarantee your health...don't worry about your grandson..."

Mr. He opened his eyes sharply, and then laughed loudly, "I want to be in front of this old man again. Your father-in-law...is really a great person. However, he is really sincere to you...he told you to go I don't even ask you what to do. Do it well, what happens to the He family in the future...it's all up to you...go! "

He Zhiting kowtowed three more times before getting up and slowly backing out.

Sister Qiong didn't know that she might be leaving the capital in the near future, and she was helping to organize the wedding.The Lin family may be arriving in the next few days, and Brother Qi and Da Lang took someone to pick them up outside the city. She still has to check how the guest room for the Lin family is arranged.

The Jin family is very busy, but the daughter-in-law has donated the dowry, so the wedding will definitely not be so troublesome.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yao murmured next to Lin Yutong: "The order of the wedding is messed up! Each item has to be re-scheduled..."

The first day is to brighten up. On this day, relatives and friends will come or not!

Come!Borrow two troupes of small actors, different troupes in the front yard and the back yard, let's make it lively!

Mrs. Sun immediately said: "Other family's small dramas are not successful, but the news from Prince Shun's Mansion and Prince Kang's Mansion are very good. Last time Mr. Li's family celebrated the old lady's birthday, they invited people from Prince Kang's Mansion."

Lin Yutong was not happy to deal with that side, "The Shun Palace can be divided into two teams, so I won't disturb that side."

But the family didn't talk to Kang Wang, so Kang Wang took the initiative to come to find fourth master, "... I don't know where nephew Lu Jiaxian is now? Hehe! He is young, and he bumps around when he goes shopping... I do know a few people here..."

The purpose of finding Lu Liuyao was to introduce merchants to Lu Liuyao, and he should have benefited from it.

Lu Liuyao's news, regardless of whether it is true or not, must not be leaked.

The fourth master patiently asked him to sit down, "You are kind, I took it for Liu Yao. Don't ask me, my lord. Liu Yao left after meeting my brother-in-law. As for what my brother-in-law said to the child, I will I really don’t know. I don’t know where I went, why don’t I ask my brother-in-law?”

Xu Shizhong?

No need!

Kang Wang smiled awkwardly, "This king has good intentions!"

yes!I know you mean well!

The fourth master said in a low voice: "I don't know where my niece and son-in-law are going, but my brother-in-law told my unworthy son-in-law to go to the northwest afterward. ...I don't know if the two things are related..."

Kang Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Going to the northwest?"

Fourth master lowered his eyes to see, then nodded slowly.

Kang Wang smiled casually, "Master Xu has his own ups and downs in his heart, and I really can't understand it." Then he said a few absent-minded polite words and left.Fourth Master sent it back in person, and when he came back, Shiro cleaned up the study room, still muttering something.

Fourth Master didn't sound like a tea scripture, "What are you talking about?"

"Father!" Shiro turned around and smiled, "I have to remember how to deceive people to be able to deceive people^"

Liar?

Are you still cheating?

Lin Yutong came in from the outside and patted Shiro. This kid is the stupid son of the landlord's family. Why is he still learning to lie?She teased him, "How do you lie? Try lying to me!"

Shiro chuckled, then stretched out his hand and scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"What are you smirking at?" Lin Yutong sent him off, "Go make tea, mother has something to tell your father."

Shiro responded and walked out. After a while, he came in with tea and then left again.Lin Yutong came here to see the Lin family's guest house, and by the way, when he asked fourth master if he could accept the congratulatory gifts from each family, he asked each family to convert them into food.

"Nonsense!" Fourth Master looked at her blankly, "Just look at me if you want to come in and take a look, and you still make such an excuse. It's clumsy!"

Who wants to come in and see you?

Lin Yutong looked around, playing tricks, "Isn't it said that Kang Wang has a hobby of mediator stretching? So come and have a look..."

It means that the daughter of a merchant's family is said to be a concubine to a high-ranking family. He is very keen on this matter now.

As soon as Lu Liuyao left, Fourth Master really didn't know what Kang Wang did, "Is it very frequent?"

Lin Yutong was taken aback, "It can reach my ears, I think it will come a lot."

Then you have to look it up!If these merchants are just looking for backers, that's all. If they hook up with Beiguo, things will be serious.

Lin Yutong got up quickly, "Don't worry about it, you're too eye-catching, I'll go find Aunt Wu. The wife just said yesterday that she would send Aunt Wu to the temple to fulfill her vows, just by the way."

It was so hot, and before fourth master finished talking, he went out again.

After leaving the courtyard, Shiro chased him out in a hurry, "My father said that there is a small box in the drawer of the kang table, which is for you. Go back and see if you like it?"

Small box?

Lin Yutong said that she knew, so she went to find Aunt Wu first.When I went back, I saw that Mrs. Sun had taken care of other trivial matters very well, so I sat down to rest, and then I remembered what the fourth master said about the box.

Open the drawer, no!There are only silk flowers that Sister Sui put down casually when she was playing on the kang.

She called the servant girl in the house to come in, "There is a box here, who saw it?"

No!They weren't often asked to enter the house, and they didn't dare to turn things around at will.

What kind of box is it?

Lin Yutong said inwardly, I don't know what kind of box it is.She shook her head, "Perhaps I misremembered, you guys go to work first." Even if you lose it, it's not good to wrong people.

There was no such drawer. She went through all the boxes inside and out by herself, but there was no new box.The existing boxes were all opened, and they were all the things I put in before, and no one had flipped them.

Ai!Did I remember wrongly, or did fourth master remember wrongly?

When fourth master came back, he saw that she was still writhing, "What are you looking for?" Her mind was very good, and she could remember exactly where she put it.How long has it been since I saw her looking around like this?

Lin Yutong looked back at her: "Are you looking for what you gave me?"

"What did I give you?"

"Didn't you say that there is a box in the drawer of the Kang table, which is for me?"

"When did you say that?" Why don't I remember, "Where did I tell you?"

Lin Yutong was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, "Shiro?" She couldn't laugh or cry, "This kid... he's promising! He really lied to me!"

And cheated!

Fourth Master's expression turned serious all of a sudden, and he called the girl, "Go and call Shiro!"

Lin Yutong poked him, "That's an honest kid... I'll tell him to lie to me, don't scare him!" Finally, he regained some energy.

Fourth master waved his hand, "Don't say anything... Honestly, if the child grows crooked, it will be more troublesome, he will accept death!"

Learning to be bad is also from you.

How honest a child is, how long he has been with you, he can learn by himself.

You are a total liar!

She continued to poke him: "Say! How many things have you said to lie to me!"

The anger in her stomach was wiped out by her poking twice: "Don't make trouble! I'll just ask him... What did he realize today?"

Why is it like getting through Ren and Du's two veins.

But Shiro is still an honest child standing here, anyone who sees it will think that this is the stupid son of a landlord's family, and now he looks ashamed, "Mother, I was wrong..."

Let's not mention the wrong words first, Lin Yutong is also curious: "You come and tell mother, how do you think you should lie!"

"Liar..." He shook his head honestly, and then said firmly, "I'm not lying...I'm only telling the truth...that box..."

Wait... let's not talk about the box.But your understanding of deceiving people, it sounds like nonsense at the first grade of junior high school, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense!

Lin Yutong turned to look at Fourth Master: If this child is not biased and trained well, he might be the biggest killer!
